Alberto wasn’t too impressive as he passed over my area.  A severe TS warning was issued for our county, but what we got was quite benign.  There were a few lightning flashes and thunder which didn’t seem too close.  Gusty winds lasted about 5 minutes and the first band of rain only brought 0.10″.  The second band brought more rain but no thunder.  That happened around midnight.  In all, we received 0.27″ of rain from this storm.
